    A package can be published to npm and pulled into your CI five minutes later. That's the attack window Dependabot-style scanners miss. Mendral's supply chain agent catches it at PR time. Typo-squatting, malware, suspicious post-install scripts, and packages under 72 hours old

    I've seen some teams recently relying less on CI checks and more on AI code reviews for shipping their code. There is a paradigm shift going on.

    Custom agents are now available in Mendral. Build them in Slack: describe the task, iterate, turn it into an agent. Triggers: Schedule, GitHub Push/PR. A customer is already running daily CI failure triage, weekly build time reports, and CVE impact analysis on dependabot PRs.

    Heading to DevOpsDays Austin, May 5-6. @MendralHQ is part of the Startup Huddle, so we'll have a space for live demos and deep conversations on making CI fast and green: failures, flaky tests, slow pipelines, and the people problems behind software delivery. Reply or DM to
